BJP LEADER DEVELOPS INNOVATIVE SCIENTIFIC THEORIES TO EXPLAIN WHY MENSTRUATING WOMEN SHOULD NOT ENTER HINDU TEMPLES
Kerala state BJP/RSS leader T.G. Mohandas claimed in a Facebook post that women who visit temples during their menstruation period will experience "unbearable leg pain and stomach ache, and fall unconscious", so menstruating women should be banned from entering Hindu temples. Mohandas claims that Hindu temples are built according to an "exact science" in the lotus position (padmasana), and each temple has "a very powerful energy field". This energy enters the body of a devotee and flows into the leg, "without flowing into the sexual organ". Men who follow celibacy can "convert their pointed sexual organ into a round shape" and can "tap the energy within their body". Women's menstruation is a result of "female body being over-earthed". Women have "round sexual organs", so when a menstruating woman enters a temple "her body will be excessively earthed", and it becomes unbearable for the woman's body. The ban on menstruating women entering the Hindu temple is "not a form of discrimination against women"; it is really an "expression of affection for women".
